Dental Bonding

When a patient wishes to improve the appearance of their smile, Drs. Taylor, Gordon, and Gordon may recommend dental bonding. Dental bonding is the process by which our dentists apply a composite resin material to the teeth and harden it in place. Our dentists may recommend dental bonding to:

Repair decayed teeth

Fix chipped, cracked, or broken teeth

Improve the shade of discolored teeth

Close spaces between teeth

Improve the length of teeth

Improve the shape of teeth

Protect exposed tooth roots

Dental bonding is the easiest way to improve the appearance of your smile; it is also the least expensive. Dental veneers and dental crowns must be constructed in a lab and take at least two appointments to place. However, dental bonding can be done in just office visit, unless multiple teeth are being treated. Dental bonding does not require as much tooth enamel removal as dental veneers and dental crowns do. This means that your long-term oral health is preserved. Dental bonding is nearly painless and anesthesia is not usually needed.
